Knitting up the ravelled sleeve of care: sleep and psychosis.

Sleep problems are pervasive in people with schizophrenia. There is a strong documented link between insomnia and psychosis symptoms, and longitudinal studies suggest that insomnia predicts new episodes of paranoia. We cannot assume that standard interventions for insomnia will be successful in psychosis and no trial of such interventions in psychosis has been done. On this basis, Daniel Freema...

Quantum Knitting

We analyze the connections between the mathematical theory of knots and quantum physics by addressing a number of algorithmic questions related to both knots and braid groups. Knots can be distinguished by means of ‘knot invariants’, among which the Jones polynomial plays a prominent role, since it can be associated with observables in topological quantum field theory. Although the problem of c...

“Take it up a NOTCH

Long-term survival of ovarian cancer patients is poor due to lack of early detection and high rates of therapeutic failure and chemoresistance. It is estimated that 15,500 women in the United States will die of ovarian cancer this year, and that nearly 23,000 more will receive a first-time diagnosis, 67% of whom will present with advanced stage disease (stages III and IV). Only 5,200 of those a...
